The day started with drivers going to the school in
Boundary Road named after DaC’s former Chairman, Jack Taylor and to the
Woodfield School in Kingsbury. Around forty taxis at each school picked up
children. Added to police, St Johns Ambulance, RAC and Norwich Union Rescue,
we ended up with two medium-sized convoys for the journey to the M1 and as
luck would have it, the two convoys met up at the start of the motorway
making it some sight with all taxis having the same bright yellow Sponsors
and Fund posters on. With the day being so hot, on arrival at the Safari Park everyone was given a bottle of water in addition to a guidebook. Every child was also given a clipboard, pen and questionnaire about the animals - adding an educational as well as fun factor! Ros McGill from LTI vehicles was also on hand to give each driver a £10 fuel voucher, as were Tony, Amanda and Sally from Westminster Insurance who gave each driver a goodie bag which among other things, |

included a £50 discount voucher! DaC’s Bill
Tyzack (C06), the Fund’s Life President was kept busy accepting
cheques on behalf of the Fund! Then it was off round the Safari Park to view the elephants, lions, bears rhinos, camels, zebras and others followed by lunch at the Safari Lodge Restaurant. After eating, everyone was free to explore the rest of this amazing Safari Park. After a 4-30 picnic tea in the amphitheatre, it was back to the taxis for the journey home and the end of a great day out. All I can say is that Woburn is well worth a visit… Through Call Sign, I would like to thank Westminster Motor Insurance and Bartle Bogle Hegarty for sponsoring the outing, LTI Vehicles for sponsoring the fuel and all from the Duke of Bedford’s estate at the Safari Park for their help and hospitality. Thanks also to St Johns Ambulance, RAC, Norwich |
 LTI's Ros McGill presents cheque to DaC's Bill Tyzack Union Rescue, PC’s Gary Wilkins and Steve Adams of the City of London Police, the BP service station in Clipstone Street and last but by no means least, you the drivers. Without you and the above companies, the Fund could not run these outings. So on behalf of the children and the fund… thanks a million for a great day out! Alan Cohen |
